Grey

Oscar Williams

A BLEAK wind rides on the waves,

And the shadowy foam is hurled.

Grey rains are on the hills,

And a grey dusk is over the world.

Bleak moods and shadowy moods

Move like the moods of the sea;

The mist, a grey unspoken thought,

Is looking strangely at me.

And I am lost in greyness—

My dreams are still and furled;

For the grey rains are on the hills,

And a grey dusk is over the world.
